HEMODİYALİZE CEVAP VERMEYEN LİTYUM ZEHİRLENMESİ: OLGU SUNUMU

Lityum depresyon, bipolar hastalıkların tedavi ve profilaksisinde kullanılmaktadır. Tedavi aralığı dardır ve yan etki görülmesi yüksek doz kullanımlarla sınırlı değildir. Lityum zehir- lenmeleri yaşamı tehdit eden durumlar ortaya çıkarabildiği gibi dirençli kognitif ve nö- rolojik bozukluklara da yol açabilir. Biz suisid amaçlı yüksek doz lityum alarak acil servise getirilen fakat diyalize rağmen kaybedilen hastayı sunmayı amaçladık.

Lithium Intoxication Unresponsive to Hemodialysis: Case Report

Lithium has been used in the prophylaxis and treatment of depression and bipolar disorder for years. Lithium has a narrow therapeutic range, and several well characterized adverse effects limit the potential usefulness of higher doses. Lithium toxicity may be life threatening, or result in persistent cognitive and neurological impairment. We aimed to present a patient admitted to the emergency department with high dose suicidal lithium intake and died although dialysis.
